Learn with AI. Create with judgement.
IID presents these tools as learning and creative assistance. Use them to research, explore and iterate — not as a substitute for original thinking, design process or technical accuracy.

Open tool📚 AI Learning
Use AI as learning and creative assistance — not as the final design.
Students should not submit AI-generated output as a finished design. Use AI with research, originality, design thinking, human judgement, copyright/IP awareness and technical accuracy. In fashion and interior especially, generated visuals can differ from actual fit, materials and dimensional requirements.
